*after I’ve caught it: Should’ve known that was only a one hit wonder

[@goldenoutlaw2495]

I used an Orthworm I had for a few tera raids and it worked great. Here’s the build I used: Orthworm- Level: 100 Ability: Earth Eater Nature: Impish (+Def, -Sp Atk) Tera Type: Stellar (Fighting can work too, but I use Stellar for the extra defense.) EV spread: 252 HP, 252 Def, and 4 Sp Def Item: Shell Bell Moves: -Body Press (Maxed) -Iron Defense -Iron Head -Protect Honestly, a pretty self explanatory build. The old reliable “Iron Press” set. Iron Head is there to build up your Tera Orb charge, and Protect is for when Dragonite resets your stats and suppress Orthworm’s ability. (I learned that the hard way…) I’m sure this build can be improved, and there are better Pokémon to use for this raid, but this is what I used. Hope this helps someone get their Dragonite the Unrivaled.

[@BPTK162]

I did very similar; swapped out Iron Head for Mud Slap in the early game. Used Mud Slap to build Tera/stall until after Stats are reset and I’m up to +6, then Tera Fighting to clear. Took 2 tries though. I clicked Tera and immediately got Crit by Extremespeed 😵‍💫

@@GravityFaiz Premier Ball. Every pokemon i've caught in S/V has been in one.

[@もちの花]

I think it's fun that pokemon other than starters are mytiest marked

[@TrueLooneyman]

A tactic I've seen on Discord is Flutter Mane holding an Air Balloon. As long as the Thunder and Hurricane uses don't hit you (Soft reset if they do) then Dragonite just cannot hit you. The moveset is Moonblast, Calm Mind, Stored power and a filler move with the Air Balloon item. You reset if Hurricane or Thunder target you but if it doesn't, just Moonblast until, it does the stat wipe, then max out on calm minds, then go tera and use Stored Power until you win

[@carringtont7632]

I'd recommend Sunny Day as the 4th move. You use it on Turn 1 to drop the accuracy of the incoming Thunder from guaranteed hit to 50%, so even if you get targeted, chances are good that it'll miss. It'll also gives a boost if you use it before starting with the Stored Powers

[@TrueLooneyman]

@@carringtont7632 That is a smart idea. It's not humanly possible to stop it from using Hurricane, it moves too quick, but Thunder you can cripple

[@dr4gonstear]

I don't know how many times I've been hit by the Hurricane, but it feels a little over 100% of the time. Haven't even gotten to the Thunder, I'm basically attacked every single time making this strat impossible.

[@CollinDeP]

Just a note for Pokemon using Corviknight, I've found more successes using Stellar Tera since you are already the perfect type to fight Dragonite (flying to avoid earthquake, steel to resist extremespeed and dragon moves). I also run Rock Smash instead of Screech so you can get defense drops once the shield goes up. Hope this helps!

[@WhatNow505]

Can you tell me the EV spread and moveset?

[@ChannelClueless]

Hey man, what if we're all just Pokémon using other Pokémon to get more Pokémon?

[@TsukasaElkKite]

I'll try that cause I don't have any fighting shards right now

[@tehjefey]

​@ChannelClueless Then cope I guess?

[@Bankai3474]

I wouldn’t do Stellar because you will only get the boost from using Body press once instead of every time

[@Amins88]

I've never heard a hairstyle described as "rambunctious", but it was apt

[@matthewkessing1924]

Another fun option: Tera fighting Contrary Malamar w/ Leppa Berry. 252att/252def. Skill Swap, Reflect, Superpower (3 PPup). Skill swap out of the gates, then sac yourself as quickly as possible to get contrary back, but right before the sac set reflect. Once you come back in, use superpower. Do an attack cheer at +4/+4, then finish with more superpower. This build WANTS to take the hurricane or the thunder. Not the fastest, but a different flavor to what else is out there.

[@JCXP123]

Used a farigiraf (armor tail) to deal with the extreme speed, foul play for dragon dance attack boosts, reflect/light screen, and sunny day so that hurricane and thunder hits aren't guaranteed hits. It's generally quite helpful

[@FusedRage]

I miss how Sword and Shield almost every month had raids with pokemon you couldn't normally get like non-regionals and stuff. :(

[@xv1distort]

That was fun. Better mystery gifts in the SwSh era too

[@chrise86]

Honestly far preferred SwSh for multiple reasons. The towns actually had character, for one.

[@xv1distort]

@@chrise86 eh. Sort of. The towns seemed like they had great ideas that were wasted potential. Hammerlocke and Motostoke were well done, but places like Ballonlea and Spikemuth were full of untapped potential. Wyndon and Postwick deserved better. I usually forget that Wedgehurst isnt Postwick. I forgot Hulbury existed. I did like Circhester.

[@BlazeFuryburn]

You're the reason I was looking for Turbo controllers, back I wanna say during the Mightiest Mark Empoleon raids, and coincidentally, that also introduced me to the controller of my dreams, CandyCon. They have Turbo, Macro programming, and the face, d-pads, and joysticks are fully and easily customizible. Although they don't have adaptive vibrations or NFC compatibility, they are almost a direct upgrade from a Switch Pro Controller for around the same price as one. Love the content, and keep up the amazing work.

[@wentontendoor9067]

[@autumbreeze1129]

I have only had the last week or so free from hunting the Shiny Gimmighoul due to thankfully finding 2 I'm willing to believe legitimate raids of them due to them NOT having 6 perfect IVs and, just this morning (just a little after 12am), I finally got several shiny Comfey, 1 big, 1 small and 1 marked, all from the same outbreak, on the same sandwich, with my marked one appearing literally before the outbreak dispersed. So, I'm now very much looking forward to this new outbreak, especially the Hisuian Sliggoo. Was honestly worried initially I'd have to risk missing them to continue hunting for shiny Gimmighoul and Comfey. The fact I solved the latter problem literally hours before the new event began is hilarious

​​@@josejuncal2882yeah that was a strategy against the tornupto with farigiraf. So you are immun to all his attacks. But this only works if he has no shield.

[@tehjefey]

​@@josejuncal2882 Yes indeed they can.

[@matthewkessing1924]

I just posted my Malamar build. Unfortunately, the AI is good enough to not Dragon Dance after the skill swap, but it effectively neutralizes it. The strat requires you to sac yourself, which is hindered by teammates that like to heal you so keep an eye out for Gardevoir. And an unlucky crit after setting up is really bad.

[@shaka89xx]

Reflect is better than screech IMO, really helpful to lower damage the first few turns

[@pedroshiomura2246]

If fluttermane got a fighting move, it would be perfect. Especially with an air balloon and stellar tera type. You would have to be unlucky and get hit by one of the random extra moves to take any damage.

[@BloodyStigmata]

I always enjoy taking these out myself, then going to see what others came up with to take it out. Corvinknight looks good. The orthworm strat looks fun too. As for me, I used terra-ghost Zamazenta / Shell Bell / Impish / 252 HP & DEF -- Body Press/Iron Defense -- Turn 1 Iron defense, next 3 turns body press. Time it right, and the shields should go up and stats should be reset right around then. Then terra to ghost to avoid extreme speed and iron defense back to + 6. It will probably drop its own defense with scale shot once so body press should be doing enough to heal you. I had Arboliva with me too so that helped.

[@sirisaac2003mj]

I thought of an idea to solo it just to see if it works. I used Flutter Mane w/ Air Balloon and the Stellar Tera Type - My moves were Moonblast, Calm Mind, and Stored Power... And I was laughing because Dragonite was helpless and wasn't able to hit Flutter Mane at all and after using +6 Sp. Atk / +6 Sp. Def Calm Minds, I did heavy damage to Dragonite.

[@scrunkore]

this legit works really well as long as you avoid being hit with hurricane and thunder early on, you can bring sunny day as well for protosynthesis and maybe a lucky thunder miss

[@sirisaac2003mj]

It does. It only took me two tries to do Dragonite solo. When you do online raids with Flutter Mane, it's a nightmare because all of your allies faint causing the timer to deplete fast. What I like about it is that the Thunder and Hurricane take place near the beginning of the raid so if you do get hit by either, you can run and go back into the raid pretty quick.

Atk Modest Nature - Stored Power - Moonblast - Calm Mind - Fake Tears This strategy needs a bit of luck. You have to avoid being hit by Hurricane and Thunder at the start. If you get hit, reset and try again until you don't. After that, Dragonite can't hit you at all. Fake Tears X3, then Moonblast until it clears your buffs. Calm Mind X6, then Attack Cheer, then Tera and use Stored Power until you beat it, reapplying Attack Cheer when needed. It might be a bit slower, but if you can avoid those 2 moves at the start, you won't have to worry about crits or Dragonite boosting to +6.
